Review
One of the great strengths of this unique resource is that although it is accessible to novices and younger users, it is still useful to more advanced researchers and scholars. It succeeds in tying specific and local histories to larger patterns and movements. Overall, this magnificent set provides an interconnected and holistic perspective on human history and is recommended for most libraries. --Booklist
This new and significantly expanded and updated edition [of the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History] is strongly recommended as a comprehensive and core library reference for academic and community library reference collections. --Midwest Book Review

"Challenging traditional encyclopedias that offer the standard who, what, when, and where, the second edition of the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History continues to focus on cultural comparisons and interactions using broad themes.... [Other] encyclopedias lack much of the unique content offered in this work, and do not focus on the historical significance of topics such as sweet potatoes and trees or discuss emerging trends such as "big history" and trade cycles. Highly recommended." --Choice
